SUPERINTENDENT K. D. WALDO -Mr. Waldo, superintendent of the East Aurora schools since l928, shows his deep interest by taking part in all high school activities and giving them his whole support. Community respects East Aurora schools One of the marked characteristics of the East Side public schools has been the stabil- ized policy of control. In over half a century, there have been only two superintendents. Six members of the Board of Education have held their office for nearly a score of years. Under the able leadership of Judge Olney C. Allen, who retired in i948 after serving as president for fifteen years, the Board has operated a school system respected by the parents and known throughout the State for its high standards. This has been done with one of the lowest tax rates of any unit dis- 6 trict in Illinois. Four modern grade schools have been built, and two old buildings have been modernized. At present a new Dieterich School and an addition enlargfng the Beaupre School cre under construction. Judge AIlen's successor, Clifton F. Simmons, had previously served for two terms as a board member. l-le was succeeded on the Board by Glenn Mason. ln 1949 Harold Stoll moved out of the district, and William Levedahl re- tired after twenty-one years of service. They were replaced by Floyd Keck and Alger Furnas.
